M2 - Wed Apr 16, 5:32AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/g83lql/global_gardening) has announced the addition of the "Global Gardening and Outdoor Living Market 2014-2018 with Lowe's Companies, Sears Holdings, Tengelmann Warehandelgesellschaft KG, The Home Depot Dominating" report to their offering. The Global Gardening and Outdoor Living market will grow at a CAGR of 2.77% over the period 2013-2018. The Global Gardening and Outdoor Living market has several drivers contributing to its growth, one such being increasing household disposable income. The discretionary spending of individuals has risen significantly in recent years owing to the recovery in the global economy. The emerging economies, such as the APAC region, are forecast to grow at a rapid pace in the Global Gardening and Outdoor Living market. Growing urban populations and rapid retail infrastructure development are the two major reasons contributing to the growth of this market in the emerging economies. The lower market penetration of the emerging economies when compared to the developed economies provides huge potential for the vendors operating in the emerging economies. Furthermore, the rapid development of the Organized Retail sector in the emerging economies is also expected to increase the sales of gardening and outdoor living products. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges hindering the growth of the market is the increasing vendor competition. Low product differentiation is causing market vendors to offer a variety of gardening and outdoor living products at more competitive prices than their competitors. Key Vendors - Lowe's Companies Inc. - Sears Holdings Corp. - Tengelmann Warehandelgesellschaft KG - The Home Depot Inc. Other Prominent Vendors - BAUHAUS GmbH & Co. KG - BayWa AG - Bicorama SA - Castorama - Daiya Tsusho Co. Ltd. - Encho Co. Ltd. - Gamm Vert - Home Retail Group plc - Kingfisher plc - Komeri Co. Ltd. - NAFCO Co.
